When you’re taking on a project at one ofthe biggest airports in the world you don’twant to take any chance, but you also wantthe best possible equipment for the job.
With an eye toward the “proven” and aneye toward the future, T.J. Lambrecht tooknotice when Caterpillar came out with theD7E — an all-electric drive track-type trac-tor that claimed to deliver 10 to 30 percentgreater fuel economy and lower lifetimeoperating costs than comparable machines— people at T.J. Lambrecht took notice.
Intrigued by the possibilities of the D7E,Lambrecht decided to take the machine’smeasure.
“We first saw the D7E at Conexpo-Con/AGG 2008. With fuel prices being sohigh at the time, we were looking for somecost-saving measures and with the emissionsregulations involved in so many jobs in theChicagoland area, we thought it would be agood idea to look into this a little deeper,”said Doug Reibel, Lambrecht’s equipmentsuperintendent.
Lambrecht studied the machine in depth,discovering it was the result of 10 years ofresearch and development that led to 100new patents. Lambrecht learned the D7Eprototype went through more than 70,000hours of lab and field tests and the companyknew the machine received a Clean AirExcellence Award from the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency.
All good qualities, but could it handle thework?
What Lambrecht soon discovered led it tobuy the first D7E off the production line.
A big testLambrecht brought a D7E prototype in
for three weeks of tests on a very importantproject: The $8 billion O’HareModernization Program (OMP), which willreconfigure O’Hare International Airport’s
intersecting runways into a more modern,parallel layout.
During the test run, Lambrecht employeesput the machine through its paces, had itpush-loading scrapers and doing general andheavy-cut dozing where they would havenormally used a larger D8T.
The results were satisfying. “When we heard about the fuel savings,
we were afraid the machine would be under-
powered,” said Dan Klingberg, president ofT.J. Lambrecht. “That is not the case. It hasall the power that was advertised.”
Operators loved the D7E, Reibel said. “I actually got to run it myself and it had
a lot of power and we really liked the visi-bility,” he said.
The field test sold Lambrecht on themachine, but having a long track record with

Gehl Company has made some additions to its productlines: Gehl compact articulated loader models 140, 340 and540. These new machines have caught the eye of landscap-ers, farmers, ranchers, stable operators, fertilizer and feedplants, municipalities and grounds maintenance crewsworld-wide, according to the manufacturer.
“We are very excited to offer this new and innovativeproduct line to our dealer network and customers world-wide,” said Daniel Keyes, vice president, sales, marketingand customer support. “The new Gehl articulated loaders filla very important niche in the compact equipment market.With these new models and the Gehl dealer network to sup-port them, Gehl Company is confident these new loaders
will become a vital product for our customers and dealer net-work.”
Three all-new, uniquely different sized loaders aredesigned to fit both the budget and the application at hand.Gehl articulated loaders feature tipping loads ranging from1,900 to more than 5,100 lbs. (862 to 2,313 kg), when notarticulated, and rated operating capacities from 950 to morethan 2,550 lbs. (431 to 1,156 kg). These multi-talentedmachines can run virtually all universal-type attachments,putting tools customers already own to good use.
Compact sizes from as narrow as 41 in. (104 cm) on themodel 140 allow easy access to extremely tight spaces.Articulated steering allows for turns up to 45 degrees, which
further enables these compact loaders to navigate confinedspaces while minimizing damage to sensitive surfaces andreducing tire wear, according to the manufacturer.
Gehl articulated loaders come equipped with Yanmardiesel engines. These quiet and efficient powerhouses fea-ture Interim Tier IV-certified emission technology.Horsepowers range from 23 hp (17 kW) on the model 140 to47 hp (35 kW) on the model 540.
Gehl articulated loaders are designed to go almost any-where and do almost anything. Aheavy-duty oscillating jointoffers 45-degree turning angles to the left and right and 10degrees of oscillation in both directions for optimal stabilityand maneuverability. The bucket and tires follow a constantturn radius, so the rear tires of the loader follow the path ofthe front tires. Narrow machine widths allow access to tight,confined spaces.
Two easily accessible auxiliary hydraulic lines with flat-face couplers power a variety of tools and make attachmentchanges easy. Lift arm and bucket float features allow for“floating” of the lift arm and bucket for light scraping andrearward leveling actions.
The lift arm on the Gehl articulated loaders is designed toachieve maximum strength, visibility and cycle times. Theparallel-type linkage on the models 140 and 340, and “Z”bar-type linkage on the model 540 provide enhanced bucket
breakout forces from 2,433 ft. lbs. on the model 140 to10,749 ft. lbs. on the model 540. The linkage design allowsfor mechanical self-leveling action in both the up and downdirections, improved bucket dump angles at the mid- andtop-ranges of the lift path, as well as increased forward reach.
A complete cab enclosure option is available on the mod-els 340 and 540, providing enhanced comfort and safety forall-day-long operations. Excellent 360-degree visibility isachieved by positioning the operator above the load for safeoperation and increased view of the attachment. A multi-function joystick controls the lift arm, bucket, float, traveldirection, differential lock and auxiliary hydraulic functions.An inching pedal allows operators to vary ground speedwhile maintaining a fixed engine speed, to optimally runattachments while enabling precise speed control.
These new machines are designed, tested and manufac-tured in the United States. Service parts are easily obtainedthrough Gehl’s extensive dealer network and the company’scentrally located parts distribution center.

Superior, Wis.-based RJS Construction Group LLC is notexactly easing into using the fastest grading equipment andtechnology. The general contractor, which has both buildingand heavy highway divisions serving northern Wisconsinand northern Minnesota, took on a challenging rail-gradingproject near Grand Rapids, Minn., with a brand new high-speed dozer and machine-control system in late 2009.
The $10.5 million project is to connect a BurlingtonNorthern Santa Fe rail line to a 3 million-tons-per-year steelproduction facility to be built and operated by Essar SteelMinnesota. The Itasca County Regional Railroad Authorityawarded the contract to RJS, which would manage the proj-ect through the Itasca County Highway Department. All told,grading the 5.8-mi. (9.3 km)-long rail spur necessitated themovement of about 3 million cu. yds. (2.3 million cu m) ofsoil, much of which varied among sand, clay, gravel, dirt,boulders, marshland — and even tailings from an old slurrypit where the byproduct of the taconite production processhad been piped from a nearby operation. The site also wascharacterized by cuts and backslope fills as deep as 57 ft. (17m).
After completing the earthmoving work in conjunctionwith Hammerlund Construction, Grand Rapids, RJS leveledthe subgrade starting in early November in preparation forthe placement of sub-ballast. RailWorks Corp., Lakeville,Minn., would be responsible for rail installation, with thenew spur completed in 2010.
The earthmoving work began in January 2009 and pro-ceeded through March. Following a pause of a few weeksfor the spring thaw, grading resumed in April. By summer,RJS was ready to start employing new tools that promised toprovide a quantum leap in productivity.
RJS Construction Group takes a flexible approach to con-struction markets, according to Dave Lemke, vice presidentof the contractor’s Highway/Heavy Division. “We’re oppor-tunists,” he said with a laugh. “We work within a 150-mile
radius and we’re not afraid to tackle anything. Sewer andwater’s been the big thing the last several years. We’ve alsodone a lot of work with Wisconsin DOT and Mn/DOT andwe used to have a scraper fleet.”
RJS did much of the grading and aggregate work for awidening of State Trunk Highway 53 to four lanes betweenRice Lake and Superior, a roughly 100-mi. (161 km) stretchcompleted in 1999.
“The market has changed and now the highway work is inMilwaukee and the Fox Valley, so we traded in the scrapersand got more into sewer and water work,” Lemke said.Another new market that began to grow within RJS’ geo-graphic area is rail: besides the Essar project, two rail grad-ing projects are scheduled for completion in late 2009 orearly 2010, Lemke reported.
A Flexible Approach to MarketsConsistent with the flexible approach, RJS also keeps
open minds about adopting technology and equipment thatallows the company to successfully enter markets as growthbegins to occur. For example, Lemke and CEO ToddJohnson attended a John Deere product demonstration eventin Sacaton, Ariz., in March 2009 and decided to invest in twonew tools to increase grading productivity, regardless of thetype of project. At the event, Deere showcased its new 764high-speed dozer (HSD), which is designed to allow con-tractors to perform grading and moderate dozing at aboutdouble the speed of a similarly sized crawler dozer, and the3D-MC2 from Topcon Positioning Systems, one of thefastest global navigation satellite system (GNSS) machine-control systems on the market, which can be installed on anydozer, according to the manufacturer.
The idea behind the new dozer is combining the speed ofa grader with the flotation of a crawler dozer so that the con-tractor can handle some tasks that used to require a separatedozer and grader. Additionally, the 3D-MC2 system isdesigned to allow grading with twice the productivity ofother systems, and four times the productivity of gradingwithout the use of machine control.
After the group demonstration of the equipment, Lemkeand Johnson operated the 764 for themselves.
“With very limited instruction, were able to put themachine in gear and actually move some dirt and we’re notoperators,” said Lemke. “We spent a lot of time on thatmachine and spent some time talking to Topcon about the3D-MC2.”
Lemke came away particularly impressed with the hydro-static transmission.
“Using the joystick was very easy, having the machine onfull r.p.m. and letting the computer and engine do its thing,”he said, adding that the machine handled like a passenger carwhen traveling under full load. The next day, they spentabout two hours test-driving and discussing the machinewith Scott Bayless, high-speed dozer product consultant forDeere.
The dozer wasn’t the only tool that RJS discovered at theevent; machine control was new to the company as well. Bycombining the machine and system, RJS could potentiallyincrease its grading speed by up to four times what a con-ventional dozer-grader combination could provide.
Putting Equipment to the TestRJS had received the second 764 HSD ever to roll off of
the assembly line at Deere’s Dubuque, Iowa, facility inSeptember 2009. After some final testing and equipmentpreparation, Deere delivered the machine to its Nortrax deal-ership in Grand Rapids, and the dealer delivered it to the jobsite during the last week in September. By mid-October2009, RJS and Hammerlund Construction had completedabout 95 percent of the grading work for the new rail spur.With about 140,000 cu. yds. (107,037 cu m) remaining, sev-eral excavators dug out the last major cut near the midpointof the new spur and haul trucks raced back and forth, takingloads of dirt to either end. The new 3D-MC2-equipped dozergraded the dirt on the fill while the haul truck drivers did theirbest to keep pace. Dark red taconite fines coated the bottomof everything: equipment, trucks and shoes.

MAGIC Fund Helps OfferResources For Infrastructuresaid. Having a location that suits their needsand is ready to go also shows the communi-ty’s commitment to the oil industry, he said.
“In this day and age, I believe that com-panies appreciate a community’s interest tooffer a business partnership because we arelooking at the long term,” he said.
Rather than interfere with private devel-opment, the Great Plains Energy Park hasaccelerated private development and encour-aged the start of at least two other energyparks, Maxson said. The successes of thosefirst companies are catching the eye of othercompanies, and that brings opportunities fordevelopers, he said.
“That changes the community of Minotfrom being a concept to being the real deal.It’s difficult to sell concepts. It’s easier to sellsomething that’s real,” he said.
MADC built the Minot Value-AddedAgricultural Processing Complex aroundMinot Milling, which opened in the late1990s. Bio-Exx is working out details forconstruction in the park this year. C & FFoods, which bought the former MG Grainfacility, plans to do construction in 2012,although there’s a possibility some workcould start next year.
“We have on-going conversation withother companies,” Chavez added.
MADC has money invested in the ag parkthrough taxes, plat and zoning fees, surveysand related costs. Much of the developmenthas occurred with the help of the MAGICFund’s nearly $1.4 million investment,though.
Maxson said the growth in the value-added agricultural industry has benefits toMinot beyond job creation. It means highercommodity prices and reduced transporta-tion costs for farmers to get products to mar-ket. Even a small increase in profit for farm-ers in a 250-mi. radius of Minot will have ahuge impact on Minot, he said.
The construction of an intermodal loadingfacility was intended to enhance the attrac-tion of the ag park. The city owns a portionof the assets of the Port of North Dakota.North Dakota Port Services operates thefacility and has an option to buy.
Greg Johnson, president of North DakotaPort Services, said the intermodal facilitycontinues to negotiate with shippers towardthe day when the first container is shipped.The facility is capable of transloading con-tainers that can be carried by truck, rail orship.
Johnson said it is taking time to workthrough the details involved in coordinatingthe various modes of shipping so that thesystem works cost effectively for everyone.
The national economic recession set backefforts because shipping opportunities arereduced.
In the meantime, the Port of North Dakotahas been shipping oil, natural gas liquid andfrac sand for the petroleum industry. It hasassisted in shipments of lumber, oil-fieldequipment, wind energy components andmilitary equipment. Johnson said the portoffers a service to shippers who don’t haverail access or don’t have a labor force to loadproduct.
Johnson foresees the need for moreinvestment in drainage, security and addi-tional rail line at the Port of North Dakota.Current construction of a new building andscale facility, replacing a temporary scale,should be complete in July.
“It’s come a long, long way,” Johnson saidof the intermodal site. “It’s maybe not aheadof hopes, but ahead of reality as you learnwhat reality is. It’s an education.”
MADC also is satisfied with the progressof the facility.
“It’s in its infant steps right now. It’s off toa great start,” Maxson said.
The Minot Area Development Corp. hasbeen bringing economic development proj-ects to the attention of the MAGIC Fundsince 1990.
“We as a community have a lot to beproud of if we take a historical look at theMAGIC Fund,” said MADC chairman JimMaxson.
He noted that Minot voters approved a 1percent city sales tax on May 1, 1990, only ayear after North Dakota voters rejected astate sales tax increase. The city tax was splitwith 50 percent going to capital improve-ments, 40 percent to economic developmentand 10 percent to property tax relief.
By June 1990, the city had created theMinot Area Growth by Investment andCooperation Fund. Over the years, the fundhas invested about $30 million in economicdevelopment projects. Voters extended thetax in 1995 and again in 2004.
“The folks in Minot had faith in the localleadership here in Minot public and privateto handle their money responsibly,” Maxsonsaid. “The faith that has been instilled in thispublic-private partnership by the voters inMinot is something we take very, very seri-ously.”
The fund has survived through roughspots. The city re-wrote the operating rulesafter the public questioned whether therewas adequate accountability. For a time, thefund sat idle because commitments left theaccount with no spare cash.
The fund currently has an uncommittedbalance of $4.2 million. It took in nearly $3million from the sales tax in 2009.

ALDEN, Minn. (AP) Back when 83-year-old Bill Brysonwas growing up on a farm in southern Minnesota, wetlanddrainage was a way of life.
The goal then was to dig a ditch or lay undergrounddrainage tile to whisk water away and create more land forfarming. That ethic was still strong on a day in 1970 whena Freeborn County official came to Bryson’s farm houseannouncing the county was giving him a new road.
“There’s nothing I need less,” Bryson said. Sitting at his farm house dining room table 40 years later,
Bryson recalled how the proposed road was to go rightthrough the middle of the farm and obliterate 18 acres ofmarshland, despite the fact there were existing roads oneither side of the farm less than half a mile away.
Bryson and his wife decided to fight, and got help from anational organization that was relatively unknown toFreeborn County officials in southern Minnesota, Brysonremembered.
“They didn’t even know what the Sierra Club was,”Bryson said. “They called it the Sahara Club, not Sierra.”
It took 10 years for the legal battle to work its way throughthe courts, including the Minnesota Supreme Court, buteventually the Bryson family won their fight, and the roadwas never built.
The ruling that saved Bryson’s marsh was the first test ofthe state’s 1971 Environmental Rights Act.
It helped set the standard for Minnesota wetland protec-tions, which are among the most stringent in the nation.
Frank Pafko, Minnesota Department of Transportation(Mn/DOT) chief environmental officer and an aquatic biol-ogist, said recently MnDOT and other agencies building orimproving roads that affect Minnesota wetlands have tomeet what amounts to a “no net loss” standard.
“By compensation you are required to, in effect, replacemore than you have taken,” Pafko said.
State officials estimate road and bridge construction bycities, counties and the state affect up to 400 acres ofMinnesota wetlands each year.
If builders’ activities that cause wetland loss can’t changetheir plans to save or recreate a wetland at that same location,they can make a withdrawal on the state’s wetland bankaccount. John Jaschke, Minnesota Board of Water and SoilResource executive director said the wetland bank balance iscurrently in the black — there are more wetlands being cre-ated than are being drained.
Jaschke said Minnesota was among the first states torequire wetland replacement and the creation of a wetlandbank.
Bill Bryson’s wetland never had to be restored, and whilethe background thrum of traffic from nearby Interstate 90 isstill detectable on Bryson’s land, it is much less intrusive ina wetland rich with the sounds of nature.
One estimate said the land which now makes up the lower48 states had 221 million acres of wetlands before white set-tlers arrived.
The estimate states 100 million acres currently remain.

ARTBA Chairman Says It’s‘Time to Level With the Public’grow by an estimated 112 million people, to420 million, which by itself will tremen-dously increase demand for all products andcommodities and American jobs. A thirdtruth is that freight demand also will doublein the next 40 years, from 15 billion tonstoday to 30 billion tons.
“For the future, we absolutely need tomake adding significant new capacity to thenation’s highway system a top federal prior-ity. We need to address the known trafficchokepoints and create regional critical com-merce corridors to move goods,” Tate said.”That is not to say that we don’t also need toadd capacity to the other modes. We do,including to our ocean ports and the connec-tions to them. High speed rail could certain-ly compete with aviation at some point.”
In a fiscally-constrained environment,tough choices will have to be made by elect-ed leaders, the ARTBA chairman said.
“Spreading the peanut butter aroundwon’t cut it,” he said. “The question needs tobe ‘What investments will give theAmerican people as a whole the biggestreturn on their investment and help ensure agood quality of life for our grandchildren?’”
Tate lamented the nearly 10-month delayin passage of a new surface transportation
bill and its impacts on the construction mar-ket. The current highway and transit pro-gram law — SAFETEA-LU — expiredSept. 30, 2009. The current law is operatingon its fourth short-term extension — the lat-est one expires Dec. 31, 2010.
“At Caterpillar, we’ve had to lay off morethan 20,000 employees over the past twoyears, in large part, because the domesticconstruction market has been so bad,” Tatesaid. “Contractors will not make investmentsin expensive new equipment if they areuncertain about the availability of futurework. And the truth is, federal funding iswhat drives the state highway and transitconstruction programs.”
The best thing Congress and the presidentcould do to foster economic growth and jobcreation is to pass a robust, multi-year reau-thorization done right after the election orfirst thing in 2011, according to Tate.
“Again — tell the American public thetruth. There will be a direct correlationbetween the economy and quality of life weleave our grandchildren and the investmentchoices the president, this agency and theCongress make in transportation over thenext several years. Failure to make the hardchoices is not an option,” Tate concluded.

Feds Give Approval for New $130M Ohio River Bridge Project
MADISON, Ind. (AP) Constructioncould begin this fall on a $130 million proj-ect to replace a deteriorating Ohio Riverbridge after the project received finalapproval from federal officials.
The U.S. Department of Transportationannounced the approval June 17, and thefederal government will provide a $20 mil-lion stimulus grant to help pay for replace-ment of the 81-year-old bridge connectingMadison and Milton, Ky. The bridge has hada 15-ton (13.6 t) weight limit since March2009 after inspectors reported finding“advanced deterioration.”
Aconsultant on the project said he expect-ed construction contracts to be awarded thisfall, with work completed within two years.
John Carr, vice president of Wilbur SmithAssociates Kentucky Division, said plan-ning for a similar new bridge would normal-ly take three years and work on the Milton-Madison Bridge has moved faster than anyother in his 39-year career in the industry.
“The communities wanted a new bridge,”Carr said. “They knew they needed a newbridge … and they were willing to supportwhatever outcomes would lead them tothat.”
The Indiana and Kentucky state govern-
ments will split any cost that isn’t covered bythe federal grant.
Nearly 11,000 vehicles a day use thebridge that carries U.S. 421 over the river.
Plans call for the existing bridge’s steelsuperstructure to be removed and a newbridge built on the existing piers. The newbridge will have two 12-ft. (3.6 m)-widelanes with an 8-ft. (2.4 m)-wide shoulder oneach side, while the bridge now has a pair of10-ft. (3 m)-wide lanes.
Carr said contractors will have to have thebridge reopened in a year. In the meantime,ferry service will be provided near the bridgesite.
That service, however, is expected tocarry only about 40 percent of the bridgetraffic. The Ohio River bridges closest to thespan are either 46 miles downstream inLouisville, Ky., or 26 miles upstream nearthe Indiana town of Vevay.
Federal officials said failure to replace theMilton-Madison Bridge would cause hard-ships for those living on both sides of theriver.
“Replacing this bridge has been a top pri-ority,” Federal Highway AdministratorVictor Mendez said.

Multiple Mississippi River Bridge Projects Under Wayriver’s high stages.
Work in the water has been stopped andwon’t be resumed until the river is down,which isn’t expected until almost the middleof July, Greg Horn, MoDOT’s project direc-tor for the bridge, said. “Unfortunately theriver is up and it’s supposed to be up foranother two weeks. We are unable to be outin the river which is a critical path item sothat’s kind of hurting us.
“The job (the overall new MississippiRiver Bridge) is actually going very well—when we’re able to work. We’re very com-fortable with our contractor. They reallyknow what they’re doing—if they couldonly get out there. It’s very frustrating.”
The contractor Horn was referring to isthe contractor for the main span of theMississippi River Bridge—MTA, a jointventure between Massman Construction,Traylor Brothers and Alberici Constructors.
But Horn had cheerier words about theMadison Avenue project, which he said wentvery well.
“Right now we’re ahead of schedule,” hesaid of the project that includes removal andreconstruction of the Madison Avenue andSt. Louis Avenue bridges and razing of theCass Avenue Bridge.
“We’re a quarter of a million dollars underbudget thanks to the innovative ideas fromFred Weber (the contractor) and ourMoDOT team,” he said.
Those ideas included using value engi-neering concepts, Randy Hitt, MoDOTDeputy Project Director, said. For example,some existing abutments were used insteadof removing and replacing them, and somebarrier walls and redundant traffic controlitems were eliminated, he said.
Care was also taken to move some utili-ties in a way that crews wouldn’t have tomove others and efforts were made to saveon form work, Hitt said.
In addition, the team routed detours short-er distances to save money, scheduled workdetours could be minimized and used “prac-tical design” to identify things that could beeliminated and still reach the goal of gettingtraffic across the bridge safely. “It was like,‘It would be nice if we had tons of money,but. . .”
Instead, during weekly partnership meet-ings, the team looked for “different opportu-nities to save money,” he added.
“It was really a combination of manysmall things that add up,” he said.
The project is also exceeding the federalminority work force goals and the disadvan-taged business goals on the project, Hornsaid.
The bridge, like others replaced byMoDOT in the last several years, has awrought iron fence that runs along it, deco-rative lights and sidewalks.
“When I talk about the river bridge proj-ect, most people think about the cable staybridge over the river but they don’t realizethat there are 30 other projects that have to
happen” for successful completion of theriver bridge project, he said at the ribbon-cutting. “This is the first one.”
MoDOT awarded a $4.4 million contractto Fred Weber Inc. in 2009 for razing thethree bridges and rebuilding two of them.
As officials cut the ribbon allowing trafficto use the Madison Avenue bridge, crewswere preparing to take the down the St.Louis Avenue Bridge and begin reconstruct-ing it. The Cass Avenue Bridge was razedwhen the Madison Avenue Bridge camedown in February. MoDOT will seek bids torebuild the bridge in the fall.
“People asked why we didn’t do both atthe same weekend,” Horn said. “We said wewould not close both of these bridges at thesame time so (motorists) could have localaccess.” MoDOT required the contractor tocomplete one bridge before they could closedown the other, he said.
Horn thanked the driving public and areabusinesses and churches “who have beenvery patient as we had this bridge closed andworked with us on the detours.” The area onthe south side of the bridge is largely resi-dential and largely commercial on the northside.
Bob Burns, field representative for U. S.Senator Clare McCaskill at the ribbon cut-ting, commended Fred Weber Inc. for thecompany’s work.
“I’ve known them for a long period oftime,” and the company has “always beenknown as ‘ahead of schedule and underbudget,’” he said. “This bridge is proof ofthat.”
Burns made his comments as cars andtrucks sped by loudly under the bridge. Theroar of passing traffic made hearing difficultbut he called the noise “indications that com-merce is going on,” He added: “That’s awonderful thing.”
The newly completed bridge will “openthe road” so first responders, police and fire-men can get around easier to serve “the
greater good,” Burns said. “Whenever yousee. . .MoDOT working, it’s going to makeit better for everybody.”
Missouri State Senator Robin WrightJones echoed Burns’ comments.
“This bridge is an asset to the neighbor-hood,” she said. “It adds to the ambience ofthe neighborhood. It’s good for transporta-tion and progress. It’s also good to knowwe’ve exceeded our minority and businessenterprise goals on this particular project,and I look forward to continuing that effortas we move on with the other things.”
Wright also commended Weber andMoDOT for their cost-saving efforts.“Considering the economic situation that thestate is facing, it’s very good to have thosewho are working trying to preserve whatdollars we have for future projects,” she said.
Helen Yane, administrative assistant to St.Louis Mayor Francis Slay, said the bridgehad been targeted for reconstruction foryears but that it wasn’t until the MississippiRiver Bridge project was scheduled.
Yane thanked MoDOT for finishing thebridge “without delay and too much disrup-tion.” The project, which can accommodatefoot and bike traffic, fits in well with Slay’s“Open Streets” program, she said.According to the city’s website, the program“provides more space for healthy recreation,encourages St. Louisans to use more sustain-able forms of transportation, and comple-ments the city’s greening initiatives.”
The bridge has a familiar look to it—itincorporates aesthetic elements motorists seeon bridges MoDOT has replaced over St.Louis’ interstates in recent years.
“It’s kind of our new standard,” Horn said.“The look of the bridge is probably a lotnicer because over the years we’ve changedgetting the concrete steel up there to makethem look more aesthetically pleasing withthe wrought iron fences and decorative light-ing.”
The features giving the bridges a uniform
look are low cost, Horn said. “Our first goalis to move traffic, to repair the bridge andkeep the structure in shape.”
The reversible lanes on I-70 will remainclosed for two months while work continueson the St. Louis Avenue Bridge.
“We did that with Madison, too,” Hornsaid in an interview after the ceremony. “Weuse the lanes to build the piers and set thegirders and then we can open it back up.When we took the bridge down, we put allthe material right in the reversibles.”
MoDOT replaced all the other bridges onI-70 about 10 years ago, Horn said. But thebridges closest to downtown weren’treplaced because “we knew the river bridgewas coming and they (the bridges over theinterstate) had to fit in with it,” he added.
According to Horn, there’s “nothing real-ly unique” construction-wise about theMadison Avenue Bridge. The constructioninvolved drilled shafts typical of otherbridges MoDOT has built on I-70. Thegreatest challenge was getting the work donewith a limited staging area and keeping thetraffic going on the interstate with a minimalamount of closures. Lane closures were dur-ing non-rush hour periods.
“We did a lot of work from the reversiblelanes,” he said. “That’s where they staged(the work) and we were able to build thepiers in the center. Had we tried to keepthose open, we would have had lane closuresevery day, and it would have made it muchmore challenging to get it done in that timeframe.
“It’s a lot safer when you have that roomand you can go a lot quicker too.”
Horn credits value engineering conceptsutilized by Weber for the savings in con-struction costs.
In addition, the bid “came in $1 millioncheaper than we had programmed becausethe competition was really tight for that proj-ect,” he said.
“Typically people think you’ve got to addon (to the price) because there are alwayschange orders that run the project over budg-et. In this case right now, we’re a quarter ofa million dollars less than we bid the projectbecause of their (Weber’s) innovated engi-neering concepts.”
Crews will hold off on staining the con-crete on the bridges until the river bridgeproject nears completion and the ramps havebeen installed.
“One of the problems is you have someolder concrete out there and some newerconcrete. It looks kind of spotty,” Horn said.“Instead of doing it in pieces over a four-yearperiod. I want to do it in the last project so it’sall uniform.”
The Mississippi River Bridge projectincludes four or five separate projects inMissouri that tie into the bridge and 25 inIllinois, Horn said. “Illinois has many moreprojects because they have three mile fromthe water’s edge to where they tie into(Interstate) 70,” he said. “We (Missouri)have less than a mile.”

Crushing, Screening & Recycling Section
Constantino Lannes, president ofSennebogen North America, recentlyannounced that Leslie Equipment Companyhas been appointed as the newest addition tothe company’s growing distributor networkfor Sennebogen. Leslie EquipmentCompany will represent Sennebogen prod-ucts from eight of its 10 branches located inWest Virginia and southern Ohio. Havingbuilt its success as a John Deere equipmentdealer for more than 38 years, LeslieEquipment Company has provided crawlers,dozers, scrapers, graders, excavators, wheelloaders, compaction and forestry equipmentby direct sales or through its rental division.As a Sennebogen dealer, the company isnow poised to break into new markets.
Opening Up New MarketsTodd Perrine, senior vice president of
Leslie Equipment Company said the compa-ny is recruiting a material handling specialistto represent the Sennebogen line to comple-ment its machinery specialists for earthmov-ing, pipeline and forestry equipment.
“We have people in all other sectors butthis is new for us,” said Perrine, adding thatthe Sennebogen line will be a nice fit for itscustomers in wood yards already usingwheel loaders and skid steers.
“This gets us into material handling situa-tions. However, the big thing for us is havinga dedicated machine line for the scrap yardsand for waterway terminal facilities that areunloading commodity cargo barges withduty cycle machines along the Ohio River.Whether it’s coal, sand, gravel or limestone,any of those commodities being handled byport facilities up and down the river, that isthe new market that we are most excitedabout because we have not been active inthat business before,” he said.
Even though the company has sold equip-ment to port facilities and scrap yards before,it has not been a primary focus until now.
“We have been supplying some machin-ery like wheel loaders and skid steers as wellas all of the support equipment around it. Wehave quoted some long reach excavators forsome of the ports along the river with con-verted machines, but by the time you add thebooms to do the conversions, they are 20
percent heavier than Sennebogen machines.The more money we have tied up, the hard-er it is to be competitive in that market,” saidPerrine.
He pointed out that recently the companylost a deal bidding against Sennebogen.
“We hate to lose any deals and if we canget into something else that offers moreoptions for our customers, then that’s great.Now with Sennebogen, we are truly intomaterial handling because these machinesare designed for doing just that,” he said.
While picking up LeslieEquipment Company helps to fill inthe Sennebogen distribution map, italso opens the door for LeslieEquipment to complement its prod-uct lines for port facilities, forestryand C&D operations with a line ofpurpose-built material handlers.
“For some sectors like the coalindustry, we can meet their needswith some small machines.However, these guys unloadingbarges with conveyors requiringduty cycle machines, we just havenot been able to compete there. Ifyou don’t get the duty cyclemachines then you probably don’tget the skid steer or the wheel loaderup in the yard either. Having thecomplete package for different busi-nesses makes it more appealing tothe customer who wants to deal with a one-stop shop,” said Perrine.
Designed for the JobIn addition to these markets, Perrine also
sees new opportunities for its existing mar-kets by adding Sennebogen machines to itsrental fleet.
“We have ordered three stock machinesfor now. I’m going to put clam buckets onthe 830 tracked machines and put them outon the pipeline business as a supplement tothe rental operation. That’s a market that Iknow will benefit because there are none ofthese machines in the pipeline business rightnow,” said Perrine.
He said their wide stance and good coun-terweight capabilities will provide this mar-ket with lighter machines that reach farther.
“You take a 35 ton excavator for exampleand by the time you put a long reach stickand a clam bucket on it, you find that it’s nolonger very stable because it’s so heavy. Thisis not efficient because you are carryingextra weight, burning more fuel and at theend of the day, you are not getting the pro-ductivity you need out of something that big.But you can take an 830 Sennebogen, whichis 10,000 lbs. lighter, and put a bigger buck-et on it to give it 50 ft. of reach without hav-ing a long stick. You can do that because that
is standard for these machines. They aremade to do these things.”
Perrine said they have been watchingSennebogen’s growth for some time beforecontacting the company through a mutualfriend who worked for a dealer inPennsylvania.
“We got into a situation where we had tocompete against them a little bit and weknew that Sennebogen didn’t have a dealerin West Virginia, so it finally it got to thepoint where we pursued it.”
After a few meetings it became clear thatthe two companies were suited for eachother.
Delivering on the Promise“Sennebogen is a good family owned
business just like we are. We like the way
they do business and the way they buildmachines. Do it right the first time, do theengineering and testing and make sure itdoes what it promises before you put it out inthe field, and don’t let the customer be thetest grounds,” said Perrine.
“These are just some of those philoso-phies they have that match up with ourphilosophies. Treat people right: all businesstransactions are very honest and sincere; weare the manufacturer; you are the distributor;but we are all in it together. We have con-
nected with their values.”With 24 service trucks on the
road and an extensive parts inven-tory backed up by a knowledgeableteam of certified mechanics withyears of combined experience,Leslie Equipment Company placesa high priority on supporting itscustomers. As such, the companyvalues the service and sales trainingsupport that Sennebogen offers itsdealers and it will be taking advan-tage of it.
“Our company knows how totake care of customers. We invest intraining employees, service, parts,sales and administration,” saidPerrine, adding that Sennebogenwill be rolling out an extensivetraining program. It recently attend-ed the Institute of Scrap Recycling
Industries (ISRI) show in San Diego. “Our objective is to make everyone in the
company familiar with the Sennebogenproduct line,” said Perrine.
In turn, Leslie Equipment Company alsowill organize events where invited cus-tomers will have a close look at the greenmachines with walkarounds and short out-door demos in addition to a focused market-ing campaign that includes magazine adver-tisements, flyers and a corporate brochureproduced in-house.
“We are very excited about this opportu-nity, and we are going to invest the time tounderstand the machines and to understandthe people in that business,” said Perrine.

Morbark’s 5500 stand-alone flail portabledebarker/delimber removes the bark and foliage from treeswhen harvesting wood fiber for high quality chips for use inthe pulp and paper market.
The new flail can be used alone or in tandem with aMorbark whole tree chipper, giving operators flexibility intheir operations.
Those currently supplying the fuel market with chipsfrom a Morbark whole tree chipper now have the option ofcombining that unit with the 5500 stand-alone flail tobranch out into the clean chip market. These two units worktogether as one in-woods system to provide the same end-product as a larger combination flail machine. Agrinder alsocan be positioned under the discharge conveyor to producebiomass fuel simultaneously.
Michael Stanton, assistant sales manager of the MorbarkNortheast Region stated, “The Morbark 5500 is capable ofdebarking logs and tree stems to produce clean chips withbark content of less than 1 percent, which is necessary tomeet the pulp and paper industry requirements. Recent in-field reports have shown very positive feedback in variousspecies of wood.”
The 5500 stand-alone flail is available with either two orthree flails. Weighing in at approximately 50,000 lbs.(22,679 kg), the Morbark 5500 stand-alone flail is easier totransport on and off job sites than larger combination flail
units. Standard equipment also includes the Morbark inte-grated control system, a diagnostic system that monitors thefeed wheel, the hydraulic pressures, and the flail drum speedto maximize performance and minimize fuel consumption.

After about two weeks, Kurt Louma had become familiarwith the controls and cab, which had major departures indesign from those in the other dozers and loaders he hadoperated previously. He said he practically felt like he wassitting behind the blade in the fore-mounted operator’s sta-tion, which moves with the 11-ft. (3.3 m), six-way dozerblade as the machine turned. Louma controlled the bladewith a stick to his right; the rear hydraulic controls aremounted to the right of the blade control lever. He controlledthe dozer’s speed and for-ward/neutral/reverse direc-tion with another stick on theleft.
“It’s a unique machine,”said Lemke. “To have thejoystick controls sitting cabforward is a different feel, adifferent look.”
Added Roger Johnson,the project superintendent:“[Louma]’d like to have thesteering wheel taken outnow — he’s getting used tojust using the joystick.”
“Until the hydraulicswarm up, you need to steerwith the steering wheel, butafter that, you don’t need it,”Louma agreed.
The dozer gets a top speedof 16 mph (25.7 kmh) forRJS via a Tier III John DeerePowerTech Plus 6.8-Lengine that outputs 200 nethp (149 kW) at 1,800 rpmand 210 net hp (156 kW) at1,900 rpm. RJS reported thatthe dozer was normally hit-ting 9 mph (14.5 kmh) dur-ing grading on this project. Ahydrostatic transmission,hydrostatic drive train andpowertrain system aredesigned to adjust to maxi-mize power and speed to thetracks under varying loadconditions.
“We’re dumping 40-tonloads and he’s just plowingright through it,” Johnsonsaid of Louma and the newdozer.
The machine also hasarticulated steering and an articulation joint for maneuver-ability when grading around pavement or navigating sideslopes.
A key feature is shorter tracks made of rubber, a materialthat has lower rolling resistance than a conventional steeltrack system, eliminates track segments, and that is used toreduce blade bounce. The shorter length is used so that they
cover less ground than longer tracks while the dozer turns, adesign feature used to extend track life. A combination offriction and positive contact, and track- tensioning systems,also is used to prolong the life of the 24-in. (61 cm)-wide,independently suspended tracks. From a logistics standpoint,the rubber tracks cut down on the need for trailer hauling orlaying out mats to cross pavement, according to the manu-facturer.
Johnson looked forward to using the dozer in situations inwhich the dozer can cross a lot of pavement on and near a
job site. “In residential areas, high-
way work, blacktop — allthat stuff, the rubber trackswill provide a benefit,” hesaid. “You’re not afraid todrive it a mile, whereas witha track machine, you would-n’t dare — you’d just load itup and haul it. And you’vejust got confidence thateverything you’re doing is tograde. The dozer is a uniquetool — that’s for sure. Large,angular rocks are hard on therubber tracks, so on this proj-ect it’s a little tough. But wefound a couple layers ofgranular soil that we put ontop so we can keep going.”
Lemke agreed: “There’s acost factor on the wear andtear on undercarriages; [the764] doesn’t have thatwear,” he said. “With a steeltrack dozer, you start walk-ing it and you’re wearingsteel.”
Lemke did identify apotential advantage of steelover rubber tracks: greaterresistance to track damagefrom sharp rocks like manyencountered on the rail-grad-ing site.
The new dozer also hasinfinite finish speed controlfrom zero to 16 mph andfour speed ranges.
RJS managers reportedthat the company’s experi-ence with machine controlhad been positive to thatpoint. Base stations were setup at either end of the job
site and reception was consistently reliable. “With the markets we’ve been following, we just haven’t
gotten into the large grading jobs until this project,” saidLemke. “[Hammerlund] had the base station and we actual-ly started by buying a rover for checking grade. We have pur
With High-Speed Dozer in Use, RJSGets Leap in Grading Productivity
Machine Control 101— and the Latest
AdvancementGlobal navigation satellite system (GNSS)
machine-control technology is automating grad-ing and excavation. Increasingly, GNSSmachine-control systems are being installed onearthmoving, grading and paving equipmentsuch as excavators, scrapers, dozers and motor-graders, plus milling machines and asphalt andconcrete pavers.
A GNSS machine-control system uses arugged antenna mounted to a shock-absorbing,vibration-damping pole and a receiver boxmounted in a secure location on the machine.Satellites send positioning data to another anten-na/receiver combination at a stationary basestation. Positioning data also are sent to themachine.
The stationary base and machine work togeth-er to provide real-time kinetic (RTK) positioninformation, revealing the machine’s three-dimensional location on a site. Software com-pares the machine’s position to the design gradeat a given location. The design grade informa-tion is provided from site plans.
The design grade data files are loaded into amachine-mounted control box via a USB flashdrive. The control box updates positioning dataand sends signals to the hydraulic valves. Theblade is automatically positioned for elevationand slope. Other sensors inform the control boxof certain machine conditions; for example, doz-ers are equipped with a slope (tilt) sensor on theblade to measure the cross-slope of the cuttingedge. “Indicate systems” like Topcon’s 3-D sys-tems provide visual guidance for machine opera-tors, who manually control the machine to cut orfill to the desired grade.
The 3D-MC2 system is an evolution of themachine-control concept that increases speed.System components include an MC-R3 GNSScontroller that works in conjunction with an MC2sensor that replaces a slope sensor; a four-color,touchscreen, Bluetooth-capable GX-60 controlbox; and a conventional GNSS antenna mount-ed on the dozer blade. The MC2 sensor com-bines a gyro, compass and inertial sensor tomeasure the X, Y and Z position as well as theroll, pitch, yaw and acceleration of the dozer.The technology gives the system the capability toprovide blade position readings up to 100 timesper second. Additionally, testing indicates that thesystem yields about three times the gradingsmoothness of other machine-control systems,according to Topcon.

chased a base station and should receive that in the nextweek or so — so you might say we are now into grade con-trol.”
“[Louma] clips right along. He’s been able to hold a sig-nal. At times, he’ll lose the signal when he dives down, buthe’s getting pretty well used to it now,” Johnson added.
Louma spent several hours getting trained on the newdozer and machine control with representatives from Deereand Nortrax, as well as from his Topcon dealer, Tom Walrathof Positioning Solutions Co., Waukesha, Wis. Machine con-trol “takes all of the guesswork away because it does every-thing,” he said. “All you’re doing is steering it and anglingthe blade.”
Grading Technology Pays DividendsAmid clanging and banging sounds of the excavators
scooping up piles of dirt from the top of the last major cutand dumping them into the haul trucks below,Hammerlund’s project manager recalled how the company’srecently adopted machine-control systems paid dividends onthis project.
“This is the first year that we wanted actual [GNSS] con-trol on the equipment,” said John Abbott.
Hammerlund used two 3D-MC2–equipped Deere 850Jdozers, a Hitachi 650 excavator and a Deere 850D excava-tor on the project.
As with RJS, rail-line grading is a new market sector forHammerlund, which previously focused on city street andhighway paving work. But “It’s the same thing really asbuilding a highway — instead of putting blacktop on it,you’re putting rails on it,” said Abbott.
But this project was far from typical of an earthmovingproject due to the soil conditions, he added. “There are plen-ty of challenges with the soils,” he said. “It’s a previouslymined area, so with a lot of it, you don’t know what you’regetting into. It depends on what they dug up and when theydug it up back in the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s.
“But what’s unique about this project is probably thedegree of the slopes and the depth of the cuts — the 2:1s,”he continued, motioning toward a steep, recently gradedslope over through a mine overburden dump that is nearly 60ft. (18 m) high. Machine control had provided a noticeablebenefit in grading consistency down the slope.
“Usually when you see slopes like that they wave, but thisone is straight,” Abbott said. With machine control, “Youlose that grade staker error coming down that slope. Back inthe old days, you put your grade stakes in every 100 feet andyou’d have humps and dips in between them.”

Caterpillar and Patten, the Chicagoland Catdealer, was key, too, Klingberg said.Lambrecht owns a large fleet of Cat equip-ment — more than 500 machines — and it’sbeen partnering with Patten CAT since the1940s.
“Caterpillar has a long track record ofhigh-quality machines, which gives us andother customers a comfort level to invest innew machine like this,” said Klingberg.
Emissions ControlsPower and ease of use were important
considerations, but reducing emissions wasalso a factor, Klingberg said.
Air quality standards on the airport projectare strict. By contract, all but the newestequipment is retrofitted with oxidation cata-lysts or particulate filters to reduce emissionsand improve air quality.
The O’Hare project requires a multitudeof sustainable practices organized undereight categories, including sustainable sitemanagement, water efficiency, materialresources and energy concerns.
“We congratulate and thank T.J.Lambrecht for demonstrating leadership andimplementing environmentally responsiblebusiness practices that follow the ChicagoDepartment of Aviation’s SustainableAirport Manual (SAM) guidelines,” saidCommissioner Rosemarie S. Andolino.“The use of state-of-the-art constructionequipment represents a continued commit-ment to our airport sustainable practices.”
Many of the project’s provisions areambitious and mark a clear divergence fromunsustainable practices, including the use ofgreen power and clean-fuel/low-sulfur dieselvehicles during construction.
“The rules at the airport are the strictest inthe region and they watch for compliancevery, very closely, and that of course playsinto all of our purchasing and renting deci-sions,” Reibel said.
The diesel-electric technology of the D7Eoffers unprecedented sustainability benefits.It is designed to burn considerably less fueland consume fewer fluids and parts forreduced owning and operating costs.
The Cat C9.3 ACERT diesel engine, ratedat 235 net hp (175 kW) in the D7E, drives apowerful electrical generator that producesAC (alternating) current. Current flowsthrough special armored cables and military-grade connectors to a solid-state inverter,then to the propulsion module.
“Emissions controls will be more of anissue with every passing year. We’ve seen itat O’Hare and we’re going to see a continu-ation of that across the country,” Klingbergsaid. “With all the issues with emissions andglobal warming, I think this is going to be amuch more important issue not just for our
industry, but all industries in the country.”
Paying DividendsThe O’Hare test helped seal the deal and
in December 2009, Lambrecht took owner-ship of the first machine off the assemblyline. It’s put in about 400 hours at the O’Hareproject since then. Lower operating costshave been a huge upside to theD7E, Reibel said.
The D7E efficiency means itcan use a smaller engine thancomparable competitivemachines, yet outperform them.In addition, the engine runs in anarrow speed range (1,500 to1,800 rpm) to further reduce fuelconsumption and extend enginelife.
“We are using the D7E inapplications we would normallyuse a bigger machine, like a D8,”Reibel said. “So we’re seeingfuel savings of about 20 percent.”
Put another way, the D7E uses6 to 8 gallons of fuel per hourcompared to 10 to 12 for a D8T.
“If you extrapolate, we like toput 1,000 hours on a dozer in a moderatelybusy year, and that’s a significant savings,”Klingberg said. “In 2008, when we werelooking at $4 a gallon for fuel, that type ofsavings adds up quick.”
With 30 percent fewer moving parts com-pared to similar-sized machines, other oper-ating costs have been cut, too.
Electric drive eliminates the torque con-verter, powershift transmission and relateddrive shafts used in all-mechanical designs.Eliminating these components significantlyreduces cooling requirements, decreases thenumber of moving parts and reduces the vol-ume of fluids required. The engine in theD7E is entirely beltless, eliminating the need
for belt maintenance and replacement. “As we put more hours on the machine
and get the results we expect, I’m sure wewill be back at the counter at Patten lookingto purchase more of these D7Es,” Klingbergsaid.
A PartnershipOver the decades, Patten CAT and T.J.
Lambrecht have built a relationship that goesfar beyond just dealer-customer.
“T.J. Lambrecht has been a partner withus for over 70 years. We’ve seen them growfrom two Caterpillar machines to more than500,” said Larry O’Neill, Patten’s executivegeneral sales manager.
And helping customers find innovativeand economical ways to keepworking more efficiently isn’t justgood business, he said. It’s part ofPatten’s DNA as a company.
Klingberg agreed, and praisedPatten for its support through theyears.
“We have an outstanding rela-tionship with Patten. I’ve been herealmost 30 years and for as long asI’ve been here, Patten has beenconsidered a part of our team,” hesaid. “Caterpillar has a great cultureand you can see it passing rightthrough to their dealerships.”
The D7E purchase was a goodbusiness decision. But in the end, itwas also about leadership.
“They are making an investmentduring a tough economic time, but they are aleader in their industry and that’s what lead-ers do,” said Garret Patten, co-dealer princi-pal and general manager of constructionproducts at Patten. “They see that the futureis going to be about sustainability, aboutgreen development, and they want to beleaders in that field, too.”

Construction Under Way forDetroit Midtown GreenwayBy David RunkASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
DETROIT (AP) Construction startedrecently on the Midtown Greenway, whichby the fall will be an improved route forpedestrians and bicyclists around Detroit’sCultural Center area and Wayne StateUniversity’s campus.
It’s the first part of a four-phase projectthat by 2012 is expected to link the area withEastern Market and the Detroit riverfront. Itwill widen walkways, as well as add land-scaping, bike racks, benches and small parkareas.
“We wanted to create a more walkabledistrict … and to beautify the neighborhoodand to really help spur on more economicdevelopment,” said Susan Mosey, presidentof the University Cultural CenterAssociation, which is spearheading the proj-ect.
Construction on the first phase, whichincludes about half of a 2 mi. (3.2 km) loopin the area, is expected to cost about $2 mil-lion. In all, project construction could totalabout $12 million. Crews began work April
12 near the Detroit Public Library’s mainbranch.
The greenway is designed to make thearea — which includes the Detroit Instituteof Arts, the Detroit Science Center and theDetroit Medical Center’s main campus —more welcoming to pedestrians and bicy-clists. The loop will be completed in twomore phases, October to June 2011 and Juneto November 2011.
The final phase, to be built April toOctober 2012, will run about 1.5 mi. (2.4km) through the Brush Park neighborhood.
When completed, it will reach EasternMarket, Detroit’s main farmers market. Italso will connect to the Dequindre CutGreenway, a former rail line converted into apedestrian and biking trail that leads to theDetroit RiverWalk.
Funding comes from a number of sources,including the Kresge Foundation, theMichigan Department of Transportation,federal stimulus money and the CommunityFoundation for Southeast Michigan’sGreenWays Initiative. It’s the latest effort tomake parts of the car-dependent Motor Citymore pedestrian- and bike-friendly.
Wisconsin National Guard Looks to Build Drone BaseBy Todd RichmondASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
MADISON, Wis. (AP) The WisconsinNational Guard plans to build a new $8 mil-lion base for unmanned surveillance dronesat Volk Field.
The 10,300-sq.-ft. facility would replacetwo office buildings that have been a tempo-rary base to four unarmed Shadow drones.Congress has approved about $7.9 millionfor planning and construction; the state willhave to chip in about $415,000, according toestimates. The state Building Commissionvoted unanimously to release $177,460 todevelop preliminary designs.
About 45 National Guard units across thecountry have received Shadow drones, saidCapt. Joy Staab, a Wisconsin NationalGuard spokeswoman. The machines are typ-ically used for scouting and locating poten-tial targets.
The Wisconsin National Guard’s 32ndInfantry Brigade Combat Team’s intelli-gence company received four drones earlierthis year and has been hauling them to FortMcCoy for training missions. The fort’s air
space is the only area authorized for suchflights. Twenty-two soldiers are assigned tothe drones. Lt. Col. Jackie Guthrie, anotherNational Guard spokeswoman, said thedrones will be used in Wisconsin for train-ing, not active surveillance missions.
The machines are now housed in a con-tracting office and a maintenance shop atVolk Field. Guard officials said the buildingsare too small and large equipment must bestored outside in the elements, resulting inmore frequent repairs.
They also said the buildings don’t offerrunway space and don’t meet any Anti-Terrorism Force Protection standards, build-ing codes enacted after the Sept. 11 terroristattacks for Department of Defense structuresto reduce potential damage during an enemyattack. The new base will include a brickveneer, space for drone parking, offices, aworkout facility and locker rooms, similar toa municipal fire station.
According to the Wisconsin NationalGuard’s timeline, preliminary designsshould be finished by fall. Bids will openabout a year later. The base should be com-pleted by the end of 2012.

Rogers Completes 13-Axle Trailer for Houston HaulerRogers completed an 80-ton (72.5 t) capacity, 13-axle
trailer for a specialized hauling company in Houston, Texas.(The term 13-axle takes into account a 4-axle tractor). Thetrailer employs a “west coast style” suspension that distrib-utes weight to the back six axles using a “rocker shaft” in therear of the trailer.
The air ride suspensions of the first three axles areattached to a sub-frame that “rocks” inside the rear frame;and it balances, like a teeter-totter, with the back three axlesof the “stinger” or bogie.
These suspensions have a special air-height adjustmentsystem that is controlled by hand valves. Each axle of themain trailer is fitted with shut-off valves and chains. Thetrailer, stinger and jeep dolly all have Air Weigh electronicscales installed to measure individual axle loads.
This trailer features a mechanical detachable gooseneckwith a 197-in. (500 cm) swing clearance. It uses the “pin andpaddle” connection method instead of the traditional Rogers“hook and shaft” connection. All of the structural beams arefabricated of 130K psi steel to keep the trailer’s weight to aminimum. The total weight, including the jeep dolly, is64,900 lb. (29,438 kg).
The platform deck is 30 ft. long and 10 ft. wide (9 by 3 m).Because of its modular design, the platform deck can be sub-stituted with another deck style, or a future deck insert can beadded to increase the deck length. It also is equipped withLED lights, three electronic back-up alarms and thirty-six
275/70R22.5 tires. This 80-ton capacity specialized Rogerstrailer, including the 3-axle jeep dolly, is nearly 107 ft. (32.6m) long.

Wacker Neuson SE, Caterpillar Sign Strategic AllianceThe relevant executive bodies of Wacker
Neuson SE, Munich, Germany andCaterpillar Inc., Peoria, Ill., have signed anagreement regarding the design, manufac-ture, distribution and support of Caterpillarmini excavators up to 3 tons (2.7 t). The aimof the cooperation is that the two partiesform a long-term strategic alliance.
The agreement with a term of 20 yearsincludes the development and manufactureof mini excavators with an operating weightof up to 3 tons designed to Caterpillar’s spec-ifications at Wacker Neuson’s productionplant in Linz, Austria. Wacker Neuson willleverage its manufacturing and productdevelopment capability to produceCaterpillar mini excavators in the under 3-ton category.
Caterpillar currently offers three modelsin this size range. The new model range willconsist of up to seven machines. The miniexcavators will be produced to Caterpillar’stechnical and brand specifications and willbe distributed and supported via Caterpillar’s
global dealer network, with the exception ofJapan. All Caterpillar models will be clearlydifferentiated from comparable WackerNeuson models in the same product range.The additional volume in the first year of fullproduction in 2012 will more than doublethe existing production volume of compara-ble mini excavators on Wacker Neuson’sproduction lines, according to the manufac-turer.
“We know many customers are lookingfor more options in this size range, and thisalliance will give those customers expandedchoices to help them grow their business,”said Mary Bell, Caterpillar vice presidentwith responsibility for the BuildingConstruction Products Division.
“There also is an ideal cultural fit betweenCaterpillar and Wacker Neuson, as bothcompanies have a strong focus on develop-ing and supporting world class products.Over the years, Wacker Neuson has devel-oped a strong reputation among ourCaterpillar dealers, who have become famil-
iar with Wacker Neuson’s Light Equipmentproducts, which are available at Cat Rentalstores,” Bell added.
The two companies recognize the benefitsand synergies of utilizing Wacker Neuson’sdevelopment and production capacity anddistributing machines via the respectivesales networks — a move that will improveboth companies’ competitive position,according to the companies.
By concentrating production of selectedproducts at Wacker Neuson’s mini excavatorproduction in Linz, Austria, the two compa-nies will leverage joint economies of scale inthe manufacturing and development process,while supplying their respective, comple-mentary sales channels with differentiated,competitive machines.
“We are delighted at the prospect of whatpromises to be a long term strategic partner-ship for both companies as we move forwardand probably will accelerate our investmentin a new and highly efficient mini excavatorproduction plant in Hörsching near Linz,”
explained Georg Sick, CEO of WackerNeuson SE.
The partnership will enable both parties tospread the cost of developing and modifyinglower-emission products across higher vol-umes.

turer of light and compact equipment withmore than 30 affiliates and more than 180sales and service stations across the globe.Manufacturing activities are distributedacross three German, one Austrian, twoAmerican and one Philippine productionsites.
